For four decades, singer-songwriter, storyteller, and activist Reggie Harris has brought African American spirituals, folk, gospel, rock, and the music of the civil rights movement to stages across America. Greg Greenway is a chart-topping folksinger with eight studio albums both as solo artist and as a member of the trio Brother Sun.

Reggie Harris and Greg Greenway have a unique story. Born three days apart, ancestry flowing through the same portal of history, Richmond, Virginia, they are on a pilgrimage together – one that began three decades ago. The racial divisions that are the reality of America started them in two different worlds, but the amazing bonds of music, respect, admiration, and shared vision have brought them together as friends and colleagues.

Reggie Harris is the Music Education Director of the Living Legacy Project of the UUA, co-leading tours through the hallowed Civil Rights ground of the South. He is a Woodrow Wilson Scholar. Solo, and in the duo, Kim and Reggie Harris, he has led hundreds of programs on Race and Social Justice.

Greg Greenway was a part of the planning committee (at Reggie’s request) of Marching in the Arc of Justice, the Unitarian Universalist conference commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Selma Voting Rights Action. He had the honor for two years of having his song, “Rosa Parks”, play when rosaparks.com was opened. Greg led his song, “What Must Be Done”, in the trio Brother Sun, before thousands of UUs at the opening service of the Providence, RI General Assembly.

Together and individually, Reggie and Greg have brought the issue of Race before audiences all across North America. They share not only a story of overcoming, but provide a living, breathing example of celebration, creative resistance, and joy. There are many who say that they are the embodiment of those traits – that their talent and communication skills make their performance infectious. Both are committed professionally to inspiring people, to encourage others to take that step beyond their comfort zone, and as they reach across the racial divide, to foster the relationships that are, in the end, a path to healing.
